Monthly gathering for members of the Visual and Material Culture Program Initiative.

Cheryl Wassenaar, Associate Professor at the Sam Fox School, will give a brief overview of her studio practice, focusing on the ideation process for two projects.

She works in both the graduate and undergraduate programs, teaching studio courses in foundational design, color in culture, found object work, eco-art, as well as seminar courses in methodology.
